For today I thought I would share with you some fun treat bag toppers! I am using a typical plastic card holder sleeve that measures 4-3/8" x 5-3/4". I know most people seal their cards in these, but they have so many other uses too! I am featuring this darling Digital Delights image called Wizard Toby! This darling cat makes me smile and I thought he would be perfect for a Halloween treat! I also printed off a darling sentiment from the Spooky Sayings Sentiment Set to decorate my bag!
I printed off the super cute Wizard Toby and the sentiment at the same time to save on paper space. Then I colored in my image and put him to the side as I created my topper. I cut three pieces of 3" x 5" card stock, one in orange and two in black.

Vegan Thanksgiving - Part 2: Vegan Sautéed Shallot, Crimini and Fennel Green Bean Casserole
I am a side dish whore. At 8 years old, I should have already known I was destined for vegetarianism at the very least. At Thanksgiving, it was never the turkey that motivated me to drag my behind over to Meemaw and Papa's to endure 5 long hours of cheek pinching, wine-induced sing-a-longs and bad old people breath. It was the side dishes. Macaroni and Cheese and Sweet Potatoes put up a great fight, but Green Bean Casserole will always have my heart. My mom's was the most ultimate food-coma inducing comfort filled version ever. It didn't just stick to your ribs, it stuck to your heart [shed a small tear drop here following this sickeningly tender moment . Ok... that's enough. Just go buy some green beans.]
- 1 1/2 lbs Ready To Go Fresh Green Beans (recipe follows)
- 1 cup Vegan French Friend Onions
- 6 TBSP Vegan Margarine
- 6 TBSP Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Fresh Cracked Pepper, to taste
- 1 1/4 cup Imagine Foods Creamy Portobello Soup
- 1/4 cup MimicCreme
- 1/2 TBSP White Miso Paste
- 2 1/2 TBSP Corn Starch mixed with 3 TBSP Cold Water
- 1/4 cup Shallot, diced
- 1/2 bulb Fresh Fennel, diced
- 1 cup Crimini Mushrooms, chopped
- 2 TBSP Vegetable or Canola Oil
- 2 tsp Fresh Garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp each of Dried Sage, Marjoram and Thyme
First, make sure your beans are trimmed and ready to go. Place 3 quarts of water in a large sauce pot, and bring to a boil.
Get a large bowl with ice water ready. Keep it in the freezer so it stays chilled. Add 1 1/2 TBSP Kosher salt and the green beans to the boiling water. Cover and cook for about 6 minutes or until crisp-tender and still bright green. Keep an eye on the beans just in case they start to brown before the 6 minutes is up.
Drain beans in a colander, then plunge into the ice water. Drain well, then place a double layer of paper towels in single layer to dry, and top with a double layer of towels.
The Casserole
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté garlic and shallots for 30 seconds, then add fennel, mushrooms, herbs and spices. Sauté until slightly softened. Remove the pan from heat, and set aside.
Using a whisk, in a very large sauce pan, melt the Earth Balance over medium-high heat. And flour, 1/2 tsp of salt and pepper, and whisk together. Add the miso paste, and blend in well. Pour Creamy Mushroom Soup and MimicCreme in gradually while constantly stirring. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil and thickens.
Add the green beans to the rest of the sautéed vegetables and about half of your French fried onions to the sauce pan, and stir well.
Pour that mixture into a casserole dish or pan and top with remaining French fried onions. Bake in oven at about 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the onions begin to brown. Remove. Eat. Let it cool if you're more patient than I am. Enjoy.

Prop. 37: Consumers need to know
ON PROPOSITION 37 In favor: Consumers should know what they are eating
Voters will decide on an issue this November that affects us all: our right to know what's in our food. Many food products on market shelves in California - from baby formula, to corn flakes, to soy milk - contain genetically engineered ingredients that are hidden from consumers. Millions of Californians are saying: We want to know, and we have the right to know, if our food has been genetically engineered.
Parents, farmers, health care professionals, environmentalists, politicians and labor groups want to know, too.
Proposition 37 requires companies to add a few words to labels if their food has been genetically modified. Also called GMOs, these modified plant and animal products have been altered in a lab to combine DNA from one species with another to create combinations that don't occur in nature. An example is Monsanto's genetically modified sweet corn, which has been engineered to contain an insecticide, Bt toxin, within the corn itself.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require safety studies, and no long-term health studies have been conducted, to determine the human health effects. Preliminary studies link genetically engineered foods to allergies and other health risks.
Voters and consumers also have environmental concerns. GMO crops have led to an overall increase in pesticide use, the emergence of superweeds and superbugs, and the unintentional contamination of non-GMO crops with GMO-crop pollens.
Prop. 37 isn't a ban; it's a label. It's simply saying: Let's give consumers information so we can choose for ourselves whether or not we want to eat genetically engineered foods. Consumers in 50 other countries - including all of Europe, Japan, China and Russia - already have this right.
Here in California, out-of-state pesticide and food companies have contributed $25 million to blanket the airwaves with deceptive commercials trying to persuade us that labeling is too costly, scary or confusing.
We've heard it all before. They used the same tactics to claim hardship if they were forced to tell consumers about calories, fat content or other information we use every day to choose our food. We're not buying these scare stories.
It's a simple label. We have a right to know what's in our food. This is how our country is supposed to work - we are free to make informed choices. Proposition 37 will help us exercise that freedom about what we eat. We urge you to vote yes on Prop. 37.
Prop. 37 in brief
Requires labeling on raw or processed foods if made from genetically altered plants or animals.
For more information see www.CaRighttoKnow.org
About the series: California voters will decide the future of the state when they cast their ballots on these 10 initiatives in November. The Chronicle/SFGate.com will publish opposing views on each proposition on Wednesdays. Prop. 40 will not be included; the sponsors of the referendum abandoned the campaign.
Grant Lundberg is the CEO of Lundberg Family Farms. Kathryn Phillips is the director of Sierra Club California.

Embarking on an internship abroad is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable practical skills and course credit in one's field of study while experiencing full immersion in a novel culture.
Prices from US$2,695
A multitude of Frontier volunteers and interns are University or College students undertaking academic study. Why not make the most of your time abroad by adding volunteer experience to your resume as well as gaining academic course credit in your field of study. This internship will give you the opportunity to gain relevant work experience that will enable you to stand out to prospective employers but will also save you time and money; after all, a minimum of 4 weeks spent volunteering during your summer vacation works out a lot cheaper than another semester at College!
So how does it work? Volunteers can arrange with their academic institution to gain transferrable course credit by participating in our field programmes. Our research team both in our London Headquarters and overseas field staff will liaise with your academic course supervisors on your behalf to ensure that your participation contributes to your academic performance and confers course credits. Further to this, we are able to sign supporting documentation, verify your participation and provide mentoring and in-country support. To sum up, Frontier will be there for you every step of the way!
Set between its tropical Caribbean and Pacific coasts, Costa Rica is one of the most breath-taking countries in the world. Even though it covers just 0.03% of the world's landmass, it is home to an incredible 500,000 species including jaguars, pumas, four species of monkeys and five species of turtle. This is the highest density of species of any country in the world.
Frontier volunteers are carrying out groundbreaking survey work, exploring Costa Rica's remote habitats and helping to combat the effects of global warming by establishing a baseline against which future protected area management can be assessed. On this project you will live in a wilderness camp set in dense tropical forest on the shores of the Pacific Ocean next to pristine turtle beaches.
You'll live and work with other enthusiastic and energetic volunteers at a basic research camp near some of Costa Rica's most impressive protected areas. You'll carry out crucial surveys that are being used to find out how climate change is affecting endangered species and threatened habitats. Jaguars, sloths, pumas and turtles are just a fraction of the species here that are under threat; it is your job to help find out how to best protect these species and preserve their environment.
Join this incredible project to discover a world of fragile beauty and help safeguard Costa Rica's precious wildlife and exceptional habitats for future generations.
It is possible to gain Course Credits in the following fields of study:
Liaising directly with your academic supervisors
Pre-departure support, mentoring & documentation
Travel & medical advice from dedicated personal travel adviser
Advice on visas & equipment
Discounted medical kit
Free Frontier t-shirt
UK residential briefing weekend including food, accommodation and training (extra cost applies)
A variety of qualifications are available on many of our projects. For example, BTEC certificates and diplomas on our Group conservation projects and TEFL certificates and BTECs on most of our teaching projects. You may also be able to gain a CoPE to support your university application. For more information on these qualifications, please see the qualifications section of our website or ask your volunteer advisor.
Home to one of the largest tropical primary lowland rainforests in the world, Corcovado National Park is also home to a large range of endangered plant and animal species. Over millennia, the dense rainforests have created a dramatic and ideal habitat for hundreds of bird and mammal species and the warm waters surrounding the park are also home to several marine species.
On this project, you will help to carry out extensive and broad biodiversity surveys, which could include:
In addition to wildlife and research activities, volunteers also participate in various other conservation-related tasks. For example, typically once a week all project participants assist with the creation and maintenance of forest trails which help to facilitate the majority of the surveys we conduct. This can be difficult work, but is actually an excellent opportunity to see more of the jungle! In addition to this, there is plenty of time to experience the peninsula with regular walks to indentify and observe rare and endangered species, including nocturnal walks to discover the jungle after dark when the big cats are most active.
Things will be busy! However, there will also be sufficient down time to get stuck into a book while swinging on a hammock or taking a dip in ocean or jungle stream. There are also plenty of optional activities to take part in including horse riding, forest canopy tours, dolphin and whale watching tours and guided trips to the national park, so remember to bring along some extra funds!
The project boasts a busy schedule focusing on a broad range of high impact, groundbreaking conservation strategies and scientific research for which volunteers receive full field training in order to undertake. There will also be a wide range of regular lectures designed to complement the practical research component of the project, which cover topics such as species biology, ecology and conservation needs.
The long term goal of this project is to determine the richness, abundance, distribution and ecological niche of a wide range of endangered, endemic and ecologically important species on the Osa Peninsula. This is also in order to assess the animal's use of the reserve area on the peninsula in comparison to neighbouring Corcovado National Park. The national park is only a small piece of land and cannot sustain healthy wildlife populations making it critically important to understand the health of the surrounding reserve area and to increase its protections.
This is a wide-reaching project covering many different topics, but has been developed with the understanding that the different research areas we focus on fundamentally overlap with one another. In order to protect the important ecosystems on the Osa Peninsula, we have to understand various key species habitats, habits and trophic preferences amongst other things. These understandings can in turn indicate what actions need to be taken by local communities, governments and the global community more broadly so that we are able to protect the vital biodiversity of the Osa Peninsula.
Volunteers patrol two beaches close to camp, which aim to not only gather valuable population data of the endangered marine turtles, but also serve to discourage poachers and predators trying to raid nests and collect eggs. The two species of turtle most frequently observed are the Olive Ridley and the Pacific Green Turtle. During peak nesting season (July-October), turtles found nesting on the beach at night are tagged and given a health check. In the mornings we also conduct nest excavations which involve checking the hatched nests to assess reproductive success after the hatchlings have emerged.
Total clutch size, number of successfully hatched eggs and the number and stage of development of un-hatched eggs are recorded. Any hatchlings that might have remained trapped in the nest chamber are freed and placed on the beach to allow them to reach the sea. The peak season for turtle monitoring begins in June and ends in February/March. Outside of this time, vital work is still carried out but at a markedly reduced level.
There are four primate species found on the Osa Peninsula, including the squirrel monkey, mantled howler monkey, Geoffroy's spider monkey and the white-faced capuchin monkey. The primary objective of this project is to estimate the density of all four primate species in the areas outside of the Corcovado National Park and to record habitat preferences. Work usually includes walking primate transects for data collection and recording observations.
These surveys are typically conducted three to four times each week and involve recording every troop encountered during slow forest treks, using binoculars. It is important to take an accurate count of the number of individuals within the troop (a good pair of binoculars will certainly prove beneficial) as well as calculating the size of the area surveyed by taking measurements of the distance between the trail and the troop of monkeys. Behavioural data is also collected to determine activity patterns in different habitats, and information regarding plant foraging preferences is also recorded to gain a better understanding of the ecosystem as a whole.
Five species of big cat call the Osa Peninsula home, including the larger jaguar and puma, the smaller jaguarondi and margay, and the intermediate sized ocelot.
Our big cat research is a relatively new multi-phase project initiated in October 2015 that combines a range of field research methods to study the abundance, distribution and habitat of Costa Rican wildcat species. Conflict between landowners and wildlife is one of the most significant challenges facing wildlife conservation and wildcats are not immune. The wildcats are one of the most heavily threatened species in Costa Rica as a result of retaliatory killing and persecution as a preventative measure against livestock predation.
There is a direct correlation between the success of the prey of wildcats and the success of wildcats themselves, and recent poaching of their prey is directly linked to reduced wildcat populations. Both the wildcats and their prey are studied in an attempt to understand the health of cat populations on the peninsula. The ultimate objective is to understand how this ecosystem works, which then allows for a formulation of sustainable strategies to maintain predators and prey in this critical biological corridor neighbouring Corcovado National Park.
It is important to note that these species are elusive and sightings are rare. Even if you don't see them whilst out on the trail or on camp, it is very likely that you will find evidence that they are around through leaving tracks and faeces. Seeing a big cat is mostly down to luck and being in the right place at the right time, though the nocturnal treks increase your chances of a sighting.
Classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, the neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis) found in the waterways of the Osa Peninsula urgently requires research so that authorities can gain a better understanding of the conservation status of this elusive animal. Very little is known on the distribution, abundance and habitat use of the otter which makes it very difficult to assess the population status and whether it falls under the Critically Endangered or Vulnerable.
Our study seeks to provide one of the first year-round studies of a local population of otters with regard to the spatial distribution throughout the year. It is critical to study these animals all year round as it is expected that the otters will expand, contract or shift their core areas of use as the river changes in depth, width and course within and between seasons. This information has conservation significance as it ensures that any strategies to protect this species that are recommended as a result of this work consider the habitat requirements throughout the year and not just within a specific shorter period.
We are using GPS to record where indirect evidence of otters has been found into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to assess the spatial distribution through computer analyses. We are also initiating interviews with local communities to gain anecdotal understandings of the presence and distribution of the otter. The data from local people is vital to understanding the population patterns of these elusive animals. Frontier has just published our first research paper on river otters in the area and look forward to strengthening this research.
Bring your binoculars, put on your twitcher's hat and get set to be up bright and early for bird surveys which occur several times a week. Surveys typically take place along the Rio Carate and at the ecologically sensitive lagoon, Pejeperrito. Many of Costa Rica's hundreds of bird species can be sighted here, as well as several migratory species. Frequently sighted are trogons, antbirds, hummingbirds and tanagers, and if you are lucky maybe a Baird's Trogon or Great Curassow.
Bird counts are a commonly used method of identifying avian species composition in an area and we aim to study the diversity of the bird community in primary and secondary forest as well as within the river course and more disturbed areas such as plantations and gardens. Not only will you be identifying birds by sight, but you will start to learn to identify birds by the calls they make. You be surprised at some of curious ways in which staff have learnt to identify the unique calls of different birds!
Butterflies are a well recognised indicator of habitat quality, ecosystem function and health and can be used as an early warning system for environmental change. As a key part of the food chain a greater richness and abundance of butterflies will promote greater diversity of animals at the top trophic level (e.g., wild cats) and any changes in the environment and forest health that results in detriment to butterfly populations will have significant negative impacts on other wildlife. This work is conducted only in the dry season due to damage caused by rainfall and therefore typically runs between October/November and May/June.
Costa Rican amphibians and reptiles are a diverse group and are amongst one of the most sensitive to climate change due to their use of small microhabitats and the porous nature of their skin. Declines have already been seen amongst these two groups due to reductions in rainfall, and humidity and increased temperatures increasing bacterial growth and disease transmission. The sensitive nature of amphibians and reptiles to altered climatic variables makes them an excellent indicator group for studying the effects of changing climates.
Our study aims to collect baseline data on the different species that live within primary and secondary forests and more degraded areas on the peninsula, whilst also collecting data on ecological variables related to the species. Environmental data such as temperature and humidity is also recorded to monitor the effects of climate change on populations between years. The idea of this project is to create an inventory of all amphibians and reptiles in the area, which will allow us to estimate the number of species there are likely to be in the area and can be used to monitor not only the richness but also the abundance and microhabitat preferences of the species.
If you arrive on a Monday before 12:00pm, you will be greeted at Puerto Jimenez airport or bus station by a Frontier staff member and escorted by local bus to the project camp. If arriving after 12:00pm on a Monday or at any time on any other day, a pick-up can be arranged for an additional US$85.
Life on camp is a unique experience! You will be staying in simple, shared, mixed-sex eco-cabins amidst the jungles near to Carate. This is a jungle research camp, so you may sometimes find yourself sleeping in a tent or in a hammock – a mosquito net is an absolute must! We have tried to keep the camp in harmony with its pristine surroundings, so conditions are simple, but environmentally friendly and comfortable.
The camp is situated about 5 minutes walk from Playa Carate, a beach which stretches for over 20 miles all the way into Corcovado National Park. There are cool, refreshing showers and environmentally friendly, composting toilets on camp too. You'll be feeling one with the jungle before you know it!
Check out our camp tour video!
Check out our video on Frontier Gap Year TV from Costa Rica, showing you volunteer life on the Osa Peninsula.
We feel it is very important to support the local economy, so most of our supplies are sourced locally. This means we do not have access to everyone's preferred foods and much of what we eat is seasonal and fresh. Costa Rican food is delicious, with a focus on rice, beans and good quality fruit and vegetables.
Cooking and cleaning are carried out communally on a rotational basis, so everybody will be responsibility for meal preparation. You will have the opportunity to learn how to cook the national staple food, gallo pinto, consisting of fried rice and black beans. Another dish that is simple to prepare with local ingredients and is often eaten on camp is light and crispy tortillas stuffed with refried beans and vegetables.
There are no refrigeration facilities for meat, fish and dairy, so the team takes the environmentally friendly option of vegetarianism during their time on project. If this sounds worrying to you, not to worry, as volunteers regularly make delicious comfort foods such as pizza, falafel-style burgers, curries with homemade chapattis and ginger and cinnamon cakes to name but a few. Get creative! There is also powdered milk to satisfy you avid tea-drinkers.
Much of the fresh water in the streams surrounding the camp and on the peninsula are safe to drink and it's important to remember to keep hydrated. Just be sure to check with staff first.
Costa Rica is also world famous for its coffee and it represents the country's biggest export, so coffee lovers will have plenty of opportunities to get their hands on some. Luxuries like chocolate and packet soup are available in the town nearby, but it is worth bringing some of your favourite treats out with you as well as any herbs or spices. It is recommended that you buy snacks when in town (cereal bars, biscuits etc) for mid-morning sugar dips or to give you energy on long treks.

Social Media Marketing World (SMMW14) was quite a ride for over 2,000 people from 40 different countries that attended, especially the team at TopRank Online Marketing.
From an opening night reception on an aircraft carrier (The USS Midway) to surfing lessons to over 120 different speakers presenting across 5 to 6 different tracks, this event was one of the biggest mackers of social media conferences. (macker is surfer for "big wave").
I'm happy to share that TopRank was actually the first and sole media sponsor for SMMW14 and our CEO Lee Odden gave a captivating presentation to a packed room as you can see below. Lee's talk focused on how content plus an influencer network can help grow your business using the SMMW14 conference eBook he co-created with other speakers as a practical example. Both the eBook and the presentation were mentioned throughout the conference by other speakers, attendees and of course the lightning-paced conference Twitter stream.

Cilantro adds Mexican spice to Northport
Tonight at 5 p.m., Cilantro Mexican Inspired Food gets cooking in the former Northport digs of The Original Kasper's Hot Dogs. The new counter-serve eatery shares ownership with the nearby Nina's Pizzeria.
The setup at Cilantro resembles the one at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Move down a line, select the ingredients you want and the counter person puts together either a burrito, a tortilla-free burrito bowl, tacos, fajitas, salads and the like. Choose among such proteins as diced adobo-marinated chicken breast, diced marinated steak (carne asada), slow-cooked spiced shredded beef (barbacoa) and slow-cooked shredded spiced pork (carnitas). There's also a vegetarian option of guacamole, black beans, peppers and onions. Fresh salsas also go into the mix, among them mango, salsa fresca, roasted chili-corn, salsa verde and salsa picante.
Depending upon your protein choice, dishes range from $6.99 to $7.99.
Cilantro Mexican Inspired Food is at 40 Woodbine Ave., Northport, 631-651-9377.

Dialog window disappears if I drag it off the desktop
Subject description: Wary 5.1.1
I regularly use an app that calls up a rather large dialog box. For whatever reason, this box sometimes becomes too large to see bottom buttons, and so it has to be resized. This resizing usually involved dragging the title bar down. If I drag it too far down, the dialog disappears to...I don't know where. Had I dragged it sideways it might have transferred to the adjacent desktop. But if I drag it too far down, it disappears, and cannot be located or recovered. (The dialog box is not behind active windows.) Furthermore, the page from which the dialog was called is totally inoperable, and the only solution is to reboot the computer. Where exactly does this dialog box go to, and how can I get it back?

The dialog box is not represented on the taskbar, nor has it receded behind active windows. If there were a desktop
the current desktop, it has passed to that desktop, but of course, there is no desktop below, only the one beside it, such as desktop 2. (It's not on desktop 2.)

The same thing happens to me in Slacko 5.4. The program is still shown in the taskbar, or tray or whatever that area at the bottom of the screen is called, but won't maximize or even appear on the desktop when I click on it in the taskbar. I have to close the program (by right-clicking on it in the taskbar and choosing close), then restart it.

Can you not click on the program in the task bar, hold the button down and drag the program up until you see the bottom of the dialog box on the desktop?
There is a way with the keyboard as well but I never remember it!

Restart JWM
That's assuming, of course, that you are using JWM.
If you drag a title bar to the bottom of the screen, the title bar will be hidden by the tray. If you were to keep moving it so that your mouse pointer goes off of the bottom of the screen, the mouse pointer and the whole window would reappear at the top. But if you drop the title bar before your mouse pointer passes the bottom screen edge, the title bar will simply sit there behind the tray where you can neither access it nor see it.
The same thing will happen if you drag the title bar up so that your mouse pointer goes off the top of the screen. At that point the title bar is behind the tray, and if you keep moving your mouse up, you can position it above the tray. But if you drop it immediately after your pointer goes off of the top edge of the screen, it will be left sitting behind the tray.
When JWM is restarted, it relocates any window that hangs off of the bottom or right edge of the screen.
This behavior can be tested by opening a new instance of geany and clicking the
button to open a dialog box that you can experiment with.

If you only need to get at the bottom buttons, in some cases you can do so by clicking the maximize button on the title bar. Much of the content will still hang off the bottom of the screen, but -- at least in some cases -- the bottom buttons will be visible.

First off, I did not drag the dialog box off the desktop, only a portion of it, and then it vanished. Sometimes I have to move the dialog box, down or aside, to read something in order to properly fill out the dialog. The normal way to restore the dialog box, once it has receded behind other windows, is to click the page it was on as represented on the task bar. However, after the dialog box has moved off the page, the page itself becomes inoperable, and I cannot restore the page/dialog from the taskbar, nor close it there with a right click. I might be able to kill the dialog as a process, but I'd rather not.

Yes. That can happen, for instance, when you drag the title bar up so that you can see more of the lower areas of the dialog box. If you drag the title bar just slightly beyond the top of your screen -- just far enough that your mouse pointer disappears from the top of the screen -- then release the mouse button, the dialog box will vanish.
When you try doing that with geany's
Open File
dialog box, does it behave for you as I've described it? Is this similar to what happens with your other dialog box?
If not, you could still try restarting JWM when your dialog box vanishes to see if that brings it back. (Yes, it seems like a major step to solve a small problem, but it beats rebooting).

Post subject: Dialog window disappears if I drag it off the desktop
Since you are running Wary 5.1.1 I assume you are using
On my Wary 5.3 desktop, I reproduced this scenario by opening
and then selecting the "Open" dialog box. Then again, I reproduced this scenario by opening
and then selecting "New Channel" dialog box. In each test, I deliberately dragged the dialog box off the screen below the bottom tray.
I was able to restore the disappearing dialog box in two ways: using the solution by
to simply:
Restart JWM
, or by right-clicking on Desktop #1 on the tray I moved the application up with the "movement pointer" (a four directions arrow cursor) which allowed me to see the edge of the missing dialog box so that I was able to right-click that and drag it into view.
It turns out that restarting
Joe's Window Manager
is by far the easiest solution. While my solution works, it is tricky because the mouse pointer must be placed exactly on the barely visible edge of the dialog box within Desktop #1 space so that the cursor changes to the "movement pointer" with the right-click. Only then will you be able to drag the dialog box up and into view. Sometimes this approach took me a few moments.

Subject description: transient windows
Transient windows (dialogue boxes from a parent, for this instance) are a pitb sometimes - notably when they go astray or otherwise (like with sloppy focus or autoraise..). Usually they're not shown in a tasklist and as noted the parent is 'frozen' until the transient is released or the parent closed (mrrr). Reload of jwm is simple and
bring the transient back into view.
Another way to avoid having the blessed thing 'disappear' is to move it by (Alt/Ctrl)+drag anywhere in the window (so you're not dependent on using a bar-drag to move the window as most habitually do
). If the transient shows in jwm's pager, a r-click drag is yet another way to move it there (in the pager - one of the reasons I like a custom oversized pager in its own autohide tray on the side). Speaking of (jwm's pager), maybe consider a different layout for your virtual desks (2x2 or whatever columns/rows work for you). Possibly adjust the 'snap' in your jwmrc-personal to a different value may help as well
, jwm's pretty versatile - simply a matter of tuning it to your prefs (like any wm)
- or not .. moving a window
take it off the visible screen (especially true in some newer pups that might have an issue displaying the full screen edge-to-edge, 'slivers' of a pixel or two sometimes don't show
@ICPUG - yah, use borderless windows enough (like I do with xpad notes and some terms) and the modifier/keycombos become habit .. even then, sometimes I'm surprised on occasion if I haven't done due diligence with the wm kybd prefs and so on

No. Fuck this. What you see above, people, is an abomination. Fuck you, NASCAR, for reminding us all (at yesterday's Auto Club 400 in California) that 20th Century Fox is taking the work of three dudes whose names were (more or less) Larry, Moe, and Curly and turning them into cartoon characters less in touch with the real thing than NBC's ProStars. Except those were actual cartoons, whereas here I'm using the word figuratively.
And what's with the Curly bias? Shemp was as much a Stooge as Curly ever was anyway, nor is it entirely clear which Curly (Howard or Joe) is being portrayed here. The whole thing is a damned mess—as was the Auto Club 400, which Tony Stewart won in a race that was called short due to rain.

By Amanda Revie, Lead Generation
This is a special guest post by one of our AnyMeeting users. Want to write for the AnyMeeting blog? Get the details.
Lead generation is one of the most important areas of business, and whether you're nurturing a growing SME or a non profit organisation, lead generation is a necessary part of your work.
This marketing tool has long been used to generate consumer interest in products or services, and now the core techniques are practiced on the web. Digital lead generation is something which can help your business grow in a cost effective and up to date way.
There are many ways to conduct lead generation effectively for your company and here we discuss the different types of lead generation marketing within the digital world.
Digital Lead Generation – The Different Types
Leads are essential to any business, either for building a database of contacts or for generating new sales. Leads can be generated in many different ways, from the various conventional advertising means to the non-paid entry of organic searches through search engines such as Google. But in order to improve leads and sales to the full potential, it is sometimes beneficial to seek the help of a lead generation specialist.
Digital lead generation is an important marketing tool and here are a few of the major types of lead generation:
- Email marketing – this is a vital part of the marketing mix and every company, big or small, should consider the impacts of email marketing. Unlike the high costs of DM (Direct Mail) which is calculated at rates to include each printout, email marketing has no limits. Emails are free, so there are no high overheads on printing or posting. Email marketing is an excellent way of targeting people daily, weekly or monthly and ROI can be tracked easily too.
- SMS – mobile internet surfing is growing as is the entire mobile device market. The development of smart phones means that people do everything on their mobiles, including shopping, reading, sharing, socialising and many other daily tasks. SMS lead generation allows businesses to contact their target market in a non-intrusive way, when they are on the move. Unlike cold calling or customer service calls, SMS can be received wherever and whenever.
- Lead capture forms – creating specialist landing pages for offers / special deals or just for a call-back will help you develop a strong list of contacts.
- Search engine optimisation – this is a natural way of gaining new leads and the first rule is to get yourself noticed on the web. To get your website ranking, it's important to conduct keyword research and initiate your own intelligent SEO campaign.

Three years ago, shortly before this very hour, this photo was snapped of me.
I realize a scream of horror just went out through the blogosphere. Yes, there I am, Mrs Jabba....on my way to give birth to my equally HUT sized twins.
Today they turn three.
It has been simultaneously the longest and the shortest three years of my entire life. I feel certain that first 4 months were actually six years long.
It has been hard and wonderful, and expensive. There were weeks that they could only drink that formula that is hypoallergenic, the one that is like $25 for the LITTLE can......there were weeks that they wouldn't sleep in their own beds, they would only sleep in their car seats or swings.
Somehow they grew up. And now they are big boys.
And they apparently drive a bus.

Don't know if you remember me, but it's Marie. You helped me with my beautiful baby girl Beaner. I had been wanting to let you know about this, but I know you have your own stuff you are going through and well I didn't know how to say it… But I just wanted to let you know that my baby girl Mia passed away On Oct 27, 2008 due to SIDS. She was 13 1/2 weeks old and getting so big! Its so hard to believe that its going on 3 months that she's been gone. I would tell myself, "tell Catherine next week" but next week turned into well this long…. Thanks for all you did for us when I needed people there for me… I just thought you would want to know….
I never met Beaner. I never held her hand or touched her cheek. I knew her only through a story that her mother told me, pictures that she sent me, the fragments of a life that she shared and that became, somehow, strangely, briefly, intertwined with my own.
You can read her story here, and here. It's a beautiful story, the story of a child who was so loved that her mother fought back all of her fear to keep her, for better or for worse, for the sake of a life that she wanted to nurture as her own, on her own terms. Her mother reached out to me, and to you, to all of you, for support and guidance and she drew some of her strength from that and she made the bold step of clasping Beaner to her heart and deciding to never let go and that, that was amazing. Deciding to never let go can be a difficult choice – for some, the wrong choice, an impossible choice – but she made it and she was happy and she kept her Beaner and Beaner was loved.
And now Beaner is gone, and I don't know, I just don't know what to say, because this was the story that was supposed to have the happy ending and although I tell myself that Marie had her Beaner for all the time that Beaner had on this earth, and that that is wonderful, that that is a gift, it remains that to have such a precious gift and then to have it snatched away is tragic beyond measure. So I don't what to say. And it is not, in any case, my place to say. It is not my right, to sing an elegy for Beaner, to wring philosophy from her death. Not my right at all.
I didn't know Beaner – little Mia Catherine – but she found her way into a corner of my heart, and there she remains, this child I did not know and will never know but do love, a little, from a distance, from – now – a tragic distance, nonetheless. There she remains, and there she is mourned, and there she will be remembered.
Rest in peace, Mia Catherine. You touched more hearts than you could know.
You can leave condolences to Maria in the comments. She'll be reading, and I know that the support will mean so much to her.
Then – as I insisted last week, not knowing how soon I would be confronted by the demands of my own words – hug your children. And your moms. And anyone whose heart touches yours. And be grateful.

There's little argument that the Crew are the deepest team in MLS. Look no further than the club's 3-1 win over New York on Thursday night for bragging rights in the Eastern Conference, and consider that Columbus earned the win without the help of starters Guilermo Barros Schelotto, Chad Marshall or Robbie Rogers.
But is there such a thing as being too deep? This week the Soap Box calls on Blake Compton, a Hudson Street Hooligans supporter and perhaps the first to mention there are, in fact, some rumblings from Columbus.
MLSsoccer.com: After Thursday night, is there any argument anymore about the best team in the east?
BC: We're definitely the best in the East. I think we're up there with the Galaxy for the best team in the league right now. Bruce Arena has a good, strong squad, but we're the deepest team in the league. We go in there without three of our best players and score three goals on them? It wasn't surprising. It just came down to strong players stepping up. Obviously the woodwork saved us on a few chances and it could have been a different game, but overall I thought the starters did the job.
MLSsoccer.com: What do you see happening for Chad Marshall and Robbie Rogers at the US national team camp?
BC: From what I've heard, Chad has that hamstring injury again. I think he seems to be cursed with his national team career, because every time he gets the chance to go, he gets injured. Or he's at the camp, and he gets hurt somehow. Had he been healthy throughout the entire camp, I think he could have made it, just because who knows where Oguchi Onyewu is at or whether or not he can for the whole Cup. And for Robbie, I think he has the speed and the talent, but I don't know if he always has the decision-making. I think there's an outside possibility that he could be the last guy picked.
MLSsoccer.com: Is there really room for him in that midfield?
BC: On the bench, yeah. He's one of those players who can play with both of his feet. He's a right-footed player, but he's making a career out of playing left wing. And you can tell he's learning to become more defense-oriented, which is always a good thing. He's got that speed where, if you want to put him up top at the end of the game, he's got that speed. He's one of the fastest guys in MLS.
MLSsoccer.com: Maybe 2014, if he doesn't make this club?
BC: Definitely. But there are a couple of players who could contest for a spot, especially Eddie Gaven. He seems to get left by the way side because he's one of those quieter players and not too flashy. A goal and an assist against New York, he was the Man of the Match. He came around in the league when he was 16 years old, he might become the first player to play 20 years in MLS.
MLSsoccer.com: What's your weakest link in Columbus?
BC: Our consistency. No matter what game it is, we seem to always be able to attack and get goals. But we're not consistent on finishing. And we're not consistent on your defense. You see (William) Hesmer making stupid mistakes and not making easy saves, or defenders making stupid mistakes like Danny O'Rourke getting red cards. But that's the greatest part of our team. We haven't really played that well this season, and we're still undefeated.
MLSsoccer.com: This is the best start in franchise history. What's the mood among the supporters?
BC: It's mixed, man. I'm ecstatic and a lot of my friends are, but there are guys out there who are totally maddened by our inconsistency and how Robert Warzycha's not subbing enough. That's the big thing people are saying: He's not subbing guys enough. We have such a deep bench, people want to see those players. We want to Emmanuel Ekpo get at least 30 minutes, not 10. We want to see this Sergio Herriera guy, who was supposed to be the next Alejandro Moreno, but he's got two minutes on the field. Dilly Duka has yet to sniff the field. People want to see those players, but we're just too deep.
MLSsoccer.com: Who's your biggest challenge in the east?
BC: No one, really. Maybe Chicago, I guess. They have a good squad and all the fire power. But no one's close.
MLSsoccer.com: Will you guys stay unbeaten against Kansas City on Sunday?
BC: I think Warzycha's going to mix it up a little bit, maybe switch up one or two defenders or make some moves in the midfield. But we'll easily win this game. We had Kei Kamara for a few years, and I would never, ever want to run a 4-5-1 formation with Kei Kamara as your lead striker. I can't see too much play coming from him, so we'll definitely with this game.

They were among the first work-related fatalities recorded in Oregon this year: In late January, a worker was found hunched over the side of a bathtub with his head submerged in water. He had been working alone at a home in Portland resurfacing the tub in a closed bathroom with little ventilation. Eight days later, a worker fell 15 feet while attempting to install a fall-protection anchor on another home in Portland.
The bathtub refinisher died from overexposure to methylene chloride, a common chemical in many bathtub-refinishing products. About this time last year, methylene chloride made the news after researchers at Michigan State University linked it to 13 work-related deaths (including three in Michigan) since 2000. The victims were all working alone, without protective equipment, and in small, poorly ventilated rooms.
The other Portland victim was a young Hispanic man employed by a small construction contractor. He survived the 15-foot fall but died in a coma 11 days later. Coincidently, a new study of fatal falls from roofs at construction sites, funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, emphasizes the need to educate small employers and Hispanic workers about fall prevention. The study, "Fatal Falls from Roofs Among U.S. Construction Workers," which appears in the February issue of the of Journal of Safety Research (Vol. 44), found that Hispanic or foreign-born construction workers were 50 percent more likely to have fatal falls from roofs than most other workers.
These two recent fatalities highlight the importance of preventing safety-related and health-related accidents, especially at small "mobile" sites where the jobs don't take long to do and require only a few workers. We know how to prevent such accidents and we know who is at risk. The challenge is reaching those who are most in need of the information.

ISLAMABAD — The number of suicide bombings and other attacks in Pakistan declined nearly 20 percent last year as a result of Pakistani military operations, better surveillance by law enforcement agencies and the death of key militants in U.S. drone strikes, a think tank said Sunday.
But the militant threat remains dire, and the Pakistani government has yet to develop a comprehensive policy to eradicate Islamist militants who continue to plague the country, warned the Pak Institute for Peace Studies.
"Better coordination among intelligence agencies, capacity building of law enforcement agencies, curbs on terrorism financing and, most importantly, adequate measures to prevent banned militant groups from operating across the country remained persistently lacking," said a new report by the group.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.

Pakistan's anti-terror efforts are a key focus of the Obama administration, which wants the country to do more to target Taliban militants who regularly launch attacks against U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
The number of militant, insurgent and sectarian-related attacks in Pakistan declined from 2,586 in 2009 to 2,113 last year. But the number of people killed in attacks only dropped about 3.5 percent, from 3,021 to 2,913.
Despite the general decline, attacks roughly tripled last year in Pakistan's two largest cities, said the report, a sign that militants are having greater success exporting the fight far from their northwest heartland along the Afghan border.
In Karachi, a teeming city of some 16 million that has a long history of religious, political and ethnic violence, 93 attacks killed 233 people last year, up from 24 attacks that killed 65 in 2009.
Pakistan's cultural capital, Lahore, witnessed 44 attacks last year compared to 11 in 2009. But there were fewer casualties in Punjab province, where Lahore is the capital, because the militants carried out a smaller number of suicide attacks in crowded places.
Across the country, suicide attacks fell 22 percent, from 87 in 2009 to 68 last year, according to the report.
The Pakistani military has launched a series of operations against militants in the northwest. The campaigns have dealt a serious blow but have failed to achieve sustainable peace "due to the less than impressive performance of a weak political administration, which is beset by chronic challenges of poor governance," said the report.
The U.S. also has concerns about Pakistan's ability to transition to effective hold and build efforts in cleared areas, according to a White House progress report drafted last year.
"This failure results in short-lived military gains that allow militants to regroup in these areas," said the report.
Most popular
U.S. officials have also expressed frustration with Pakistan's unwillingness to launch an offensive in North Waziristan, part of the country's lawless tribal region that hosts a large number of militants who wage attacks in Afghanistan.
The Pakistani army says its troops are stretched too thin by other operations in the tribal region. But many analysts believe the military is reluctant to cross militants with whom it has historical ties and could be useful allies in Afghanistan after foreign troops withdraw.
The U.S. has responded by more than doubling the number of drone strikes in the tribal region. There were close to 120 such strikes in 2010, most of which occurred in North Waziristan.
The U.S. refuses to acknowledge the covert CIA drone strikes in public, but officials have said privately that they have killed several senior Taliban and al-Qaida militants over the past several years.

I recently hosted a fun little 'Reindeer Games and Christmas Cheer' breakfast for my little church class for an end of the year party. All the kids came in their pj's and enjoyed some yummy food and fun games. Here are some of the details: Breakfast Bar
For breakfast we served all the Reindeer's favorite treats...
There was a mini hot chocolate bar also for the kids to enjoy!
Reindeer Crossing table settings
At each place setting there was a pair of plush antlers for the kids as well.
After breakfast is was time for some fun!
Pin the Nose on Rudolph
Don't eat the Reindeer...
Reindeer Roundup
Antler Ring Toss
After the games we had a little candy cane reindeer craft for the kids to make.
Our city has a fun little tradition were Santa rides around on a firetruck and tosses candy to all the little kids, this is always such a hit with the kids and was great that is just happened to be during the party as well :)
After all the games and Santa visit we headed back inside for the kids to make their own special blend of Magic Reindeer Grain.
Reindeer Grain has been a family tradition that I wanted to share with the other kids. Most people leave milk and cookies out for Santa so why not leave a treat for his Reindeer right?!? Usually we just use Oats and Glitter but I saw this idea of a Reindeer Grain Bar on the Dickerson Diaries and loved the idea!
We had such a fun time! Thanks so much for checking out our reindeer breakfast and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
